Get the San-Kyu mug."Thank you" with a japanese accent. Used in informal conversations in the same way an English speaker might say gracias (Spanish) instead of thank you.

Get the sankyu mug.A Japanese phrase that shows up alot in animes and the subs say it means "thank you" but I don't understand how that works because it can't be defined anywhere else. Can also be replaced with "arigatou".
